The two trees in question are on our land which is to the rear of our house on Greens Lane. We own most of the wooded area in which the trees are located. The arborist has recommended that the Elm tree is removed completely due to the danger is poses to the house shown on the plan diagram. There was also some discussion about the Ash tree right next to it, that is in danger of falling and the potential damage it could cause to the road and drains. I therefore request that we remove or severely cut down the two trees in question as I do not want to be liable for any damage that they may cause.

There are four trees along the right side of the wooded area. The branches are over hanging my roof (property no 26). I have the fear they will cause damage to my roof if they break. I want to cut these back to the property line so if they do break, they will fall into the woodland instead of my house. The trees are protected and I have spoken to the land owner, they are happy for them to be cut back. The four trees are all sycamores. I have spoken to the council and they have sent me the tree preservation order.

There are a number of trees behind our fence line which is a public footpath at the top of number 12 Sunnybank road BB4 4PF. The public footpath is total overgrown, neglected and unusable. These trees are now so overgrown they are extensively encroaching our garden over the boundary line. Once they grow leaves back in spring they will be completely over our conservatory and garden. We have spent thousands on sorting the garden out and these trees are damaging the garden and if left much longer will damage our conservatory. They are also damaging our fence which is now so damp and rotting from the trees we will have to get a whole new fence.We would like to trim back the overhanging branches so this doesn?t happen. We do not want to cut down the trees or get rid of them we just want to trim back so they are not overhanging and ruining our garden etc. we are concerned if left this may invalidate our house insurance as you should not have a tree overhanging our property. We want to reduce the crown span of the trees to provide a clearance from our property boundary.

There are 8 fully mature trees around the perimeter of the garden to the front of No 18 Victoria Street. The position of the trees is looking from the entrance gate (the only way of getting into the garden) opposite the steps to no 18. All trees create excessive shading. All trees are on steep banking and not level ground. T1 = Cherry Tree - at the 11 o'clock position, this tree has a large fungus growing at its base. It is heavily leaning forward and has a number of dead and broken branches within the tree canopy. I have spoken to Tommy, Arborist from Green Acre Tree Care in Haslingden and he has suggested that this tree is rotten and dangerous and needs to be removed. I request permission for this tree to be felled. Plan is to replace with a lower growing, useful tree such as a Hazel Nut tree. T2 = Sycamore - at the 1pm position, this tree is extremely large and growing very close to the house behind. Tommy has suggested that this tree be reduced in size slightly, for example by raising the canopy. Also needs to be checked for safety and works carried out as necessary eg unsafe branches. T3 = Sycamore - at the 2 o'clock position, this tree is extremely large, request as for T2. T4 = Sycamore - at the 3 o'clock position, this tree is extremely large, request as for T2. T5 = Sycamore - at the 4 o'clock position, this tree is extremely large, request as for T2. T6 = Lime tree - at the 5 o'clock position, this tree is extremely large, request as for T2. T7 = Horse Chestnut - at the 6 o'clock position, this tree is extremely large, has a very low canopy, sometimes hampering access in and out of the garden and is very close to the house behind (no 18 Victoria Street), request as for T2. T8 = at the 8 o'clock position, this tree is extremely large, is very near to the house behind (no 20 Victoria Steet), request as for T2. As there are 8 trees and professional work is likely to be very expensive, I request that any permission is granted over an ext...

THE TREE (UNKOWN TYPE) IS IN THE MIDDLE TIER OF THE GARDEN TO 507 BURNLEY ROAD. IT IS LOCATED ON THE BORDER OF 507 AND 509 BURNLEY ROAD. THE SIZE OF THE TREE IS NOW TOWERING OVER THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, AND THE HOUSE IS ON 3 STOREYS. THIS PROVIDES EXCESSIVE SHADING TO APPROXIMATELY 5 HOUSES, 3 ON BURNLEY ROAD AND 2 ON CRAWSHAW GRANGE. THE TREE TRUNK HAS BECOME THAT LARGE, THAT THE BOUNDARY FENCE BETWEEN 507 & 509 HAS BROKEN AND IS IN DANGER OF BREAKING GARDEN PROPERTY IN 509. FALLING LEAVES ARE CREATING NUMEROUS ISSUES ON MOST OF THESE PROPERTIES ALSO, MAINLY FROM SLIP HAZARDS AND CLOGGING THE GUTTERING OF SEVERAL HOUSES.

Lime Tree- labelled #650 - urgently remove tree i.e. fell to ground level, required due to advanced soft rot decay fungus Kretzschmaria deusta affecting buttress roots + proximity of tree to house and telephone lines

Follow on application from 2022/0008 - Request - Cut back and reduce crown as recommended. Please note this is a very large tree in close proximity to the house and the advice was to have this work done as soon as possible.

This application has been submitted based on advice from a qualified Tree surgeon. The work will be undertaken by DJB Tree Specialists ltd Tree 1 - Sycamore This tree has not been maintained since we moved into the property 18 years ago. The trunk is approximately 5-6 metres from the front of the house and I estimate it to be anything between 80-100 ft high at least. Lower branches approaching the house are approx 2 metres from the house. There has been debris in high winds that is also a hazard. The tree is healthy and in summer due to the density of branches and foliage it blocks most sunlight from our property and takes sun off the entire row of Forest Bank due to where it is located in relation to the sun. I am very concerned from an insurance perspective about the safety elements of branches falling in high winds and equally if the tree was to hit the house with its current density this would cause significant damage. My request is to reduce the overall height of the tree, the density of the tree / foliage and potentially removal of the lower branches of the crown. The advice from DJB was that it was appropriate to request a 30% reduction of the crown but in addition to that I am asking for the crown to be thinned by 30% as well. In terms of the crown reduction approx 15 - 20 ft is probably what needs to come off the height purely on safety grounds. This will make the tree much safer, less of an insurance / safety concern and will allow additional sunlight for the entire row of Forest Bank. Tree 2 - Ash This tree has again not been maintained but is not a very healthy tree with some branches getting little foliage and others none. Although we do not need permission for dead branches to be removed I wanted to include in the application for DJB to examine and remove any damaged or diseased branches as required. Wildlife is very important to us and so we want to retain some elements of any dead branches as long as they are safe. Again we apply therefore fo...
